Neuro Blood Supply Infarcts

Question 1

Left superior MCA

Answer 1

R face and arm weakness
- Broca’s Aphasia

Question 2

right superior MCA

Answer 2

• possible sensory along with R face and arm weakness
• L hemineglect

Question 3

L inferior MCA

Answer 3

• possible right face and arm sensory loss
• less likely to have motor findings but some mild right sided weakness possible
• Wernicke’s aphasia

Question 4

R inferior MCA

Answer 4

• profound L hemineglect
• L visual field and somatosensory deficits
• L sided weakness with decreased voluntary or spontaneous movement

Question 5

ACA

Answer 5

contralateral leg weakness and sensory loss
- difference between left and right is potential for L hemineglect during R ACA infarct

Question 6

PCA

Answer 6

contralateral homonymous hemianopsia
- larger infarcts lead to contralateral hemisensory loss and hemiparesis
